It is quite difficult to make acquaintances now, because people are squeezed, closed and distrustful. In old age, there is more free time that can be spent talking with new people.
The need for communication
A person needs communication, regardless of age. You need a person who will listen, express his opinion, tell interesting stories from his life, and be a pleasant companion. If it so happened that over the years there are no comrades left, there is no second half nearby, adult children have left for different cities, then you should not despair. It is necessary to make new acquaintances in order to brighten up your loneliness. In old age, you need to rest your mind and body. All the hardships are behind, a long stage of work in production has passed, the children have grown up and are ready for an independent life. In retirement, you need to enjoy life and every day. It's more fun to do it with company.
Where to meet
You can get acquainted, in fact, everywhere: clinic, pharmacy, post office, street, transport. You can find your peer who also craves communication. There will be common topics for conversation, perhaps there will be common interests and acquaintances.
There are senior clubs in every city. Those who want to meet new people, chat, have fun with the company, share or learn from experience, drink tea together, taste delicious and aromatic homemade pies come there. During such gatherings, you can meet your other half. A person needs love and affection at any age. You don't need to give yourself up, look back at your age, listen to the opinions of others. If you want to experience a bright feeling again, to survive the candy-bouquet period, then you need to act.
Active life position
Sitting at home, you cannot find comrades. Therefore, you should often go out, walk, breathe fresh air. Elderly people walk in parks and squares with grandchildren and children. The very atmosphere is conducive to communication and acquaintance. In the parks of culture and recreation, various events are held for pensioners: a song contest and ditties, playing musical instruments, dances, concerts with the participation of creative groups. It is necessary to discard the embarrassment and learn to rest so that later you can remember something and boast of your talents to your grandchildren.
If health permits, then you can go in for sports or health physical education. There are clubs for walruses, fishermen, hunters. There people come together because of a common interest. Then such an acquaintance can be reborn into friendship. If there is a desire and there is an active life position, then it is necessary to find out about the presence of such communities in the city and be sure to join there.
